using the parallel job support
by Will Dampier 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

I'm trying to use the parallel job support built into modeller. I've gotten the jobs to work with "local_slave" workers but when I try to use ssh_slave workers I get an OSError "OSError [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/apps/Protein-Threading' from <ssh_clave on iblade003". I know that ssh_slaves require a shared memory space and I know that everything in properly mounted ... running: ssh iblade003 'ls /opt/apps/Protein-Threading' return the proper results. Any suggestions? Will

automodel() known templates
by Rafik Ouerchefani 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Hello, I'm following tutorials and the all-steps example. I would like to know if there is a function or a method to automate the selection of the templates to be used in automodel() as "knowns". In the examples, this selection is done manually from matrix.mat or compare.log files. Thanks - Rafik

How should I fill in the missing rsidues with the same chain id, resnumber and HETATM keeping?
by wayj86 wayj86 16 Mar '10

Dear all, I am trying to fix a protein with 6 missing aa. This protein has a resid from 500 to 650, with three HETATM residues (N-glycan) from 800 to 802 ( discontinuous with the protein resnumber). Here is my script to run modeller: *First step: to build a model with blank chain ID and resnumber from 1 to 150:* # Homology modeling by the automodel class from modeller import * # Load standard Modeller classes from modeller.automodel import * # Load the automodel class log.verbose() # request verbose output env = environ() # create a new MODELLER environment to build this model in # directories for input atom files env.io.atom_files_directory = ['./', ':../atom_files'] # Read in HETATM records from template PDBs env.io.hetatm = True env.patch_default = False class MyModel(automodel): def select_atoms(self): # Select residues 41 and 46 (PDB numbering) return selection(self.residue_range('41', '46')) a = MyModel(env, alnfile = 'xy.pir', # alignment filename knowns = 'x', # sequence = 'y', assess_methods=(assess.DOPE, assess.GA341)) # code of the target a.starting_model= 1 # index of the first model a.ending_model = 10 # index of the last model # Very thorough VTFM optimization: a.library_schedule = autosched.slow a.max_var_iterations = 300 # Thorough MD optimization: a.md_level = refine.slow # Repeat the whole cycle 2 times and do not stop unless obj.func. > 1E6 a.repeat_optimization = 3 a.max_molpdf = 1e6 a.make() # Get a list of all successfully built models from a.outputs ok_models = filter(lambda x: x['failure'] is None, a.outputs) # Rank the models by DOPE score key = 'DOPE score' ok_models.sort(lambda a,b: cmp(a[key], b[key])) # Get top model m = ok_models[0] print "Top model: %s (DOPE score %.3f)" % (m['name'], m[key]) By running this script I did got a model with missing residues fixed and HETATM keeping, but the chain ID was blank (because only one chain was built), and the resnumber was from 1 to 154. I did hope to keep the original chain ID and the resnum, so I try the rename_segments, like: *Second step: reassign the chain ID and resnumber:* # Example for: model.rename_segments() # This will assign new PDB single-character chain id's to all the chains # in the input PDB file (here there are two 'chains': protein and the HETATM # water molecules). from modeller import * # Read the MODEL with all HETATM and water records (so there are two 'chains'): env = environ() env.io.atom_files_directory = ['./', ':../atom_files'] env.io.hetatm = True mdl = model(env, file='y') # Assign new segment names and write out the new model: mdl.rename_segments(segment_ids='A', renumber_residues=[500, 650]) mdl.write(file='y.ini') Now in the final model y.ini the chain ID was defined as "A", and resnum was from 500 to 650. However, the HETATM residues was from 651 to 653, but not 800 to 802. So should I modify my scripts to fix the protein and keeping its original chain ID, resnumber and HETATM residues? Thank you very much for your attention. P.S. The HETATM residues are also in chain A, the same chain with the protein. -- Be the change you want to see in the world.

Refine segments of a crystal structure
by Baptiste Legrand 16 Mar '10

Hi all, Is it possible to refine protein segments from a crystal structure using modeller as we can do for models (but in this case, without providing alignment and template files) ? Thanks. Best wishes, Baptiste

alignment with modeller
by Knut J Bjuland 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

I used multiple alignment with protein sequence to get a better alignment with a template. Is this a good practice. What are the recommende settings in salign to get the best possible alignment.

HETERODIMER GENERATION
by Ajeeta kaushiki 16 Mar '10

16 Mar '10

Hi I have to generate a hetero dimer . The entire length of protein is 1500 amino acid . The first dimer is from 150-410 aa and next one is from 786-1188 aa , I have modelled this two domains separately , Now I have to map it on a known Homo Dimer present in the template pdb to generate as a heterodimer . Kindly guide or is there any other way to merge the coordinates . Thanks & Regards Ajeeta

question on mutate monomers script
by Andrew Voronkov 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Dear Modeller users, I am trying to mutate several aminoacids in the PDB file. I ve used the scrtipt (mutate.py) attached for this, but I get the error given below. What can be the problem? As I understand I need only PDB file for this script execution. Do I need to write path to the libraries in the explicit way or it should get it from the environment setup? I haven't specified the full path. Sincerely yours, Andrew :~/Mutate> mod9v7 mutate.py 'import site' failed; use -v for traceback warning: Non-ASCII character '\xe2' in file mutate.py on line 11, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details File "mutate.py", line 11 env.libs.topology.read(file=’$(LIB)/top_heav.lib’) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax edward@29:~/Mutate> Скачать присоединенный файл (mutate.py): # Example for: selection.mutate() # This will read a PDB file, change its sequence a little, build new # coordinates for any of the additional atoms using only the internal # geometry, and write the mutant PDB file.

Ajeeta First of all you didn't tell about how you got the information about this heterodimer. I believe you have just checked the invert sequence similarity. If not, give the template(s) you have considered. For sure there is a solution. I have seen such data and got reasonably high accuracy on it. Your target sequence length is very high making it a a difficult target. But some methodologies you can apply to see it.

It sounds like you are on a Windows system, and the Modeller binary crashed. This could be due either to a problem with your machine's hardware (e.g. faulty memory) or a bug in Modeller. You can check for bad hardware by trying the same script on a different machine. If that still crashes, it's likely a bug in Modeller - in that case I would need to be able to reproduce the problem in order to fix it, so would need you to send me exactly the same input files you're using when the crash occurs.
